I have a Dell model 7000240-0001 power supply from a Poweredge 2500/4600 server and I want to make it a stand alone power supply for a lipo charger. I am trying to find out how the PS switches on. There is a 24 pin connector in between the input and output terminals that should be where the switching must take place. I need a schematic/wiring diagram or someone with the knowledge to point me in the right direction. I would appreciate the help. Scott

Possibly a power distribution board problem.
PDB requires replacement.

SOURCE: Does Dell PowerEdge 4600 Server support DVD ROM

I am working on one of these now and yes, it should boot from DVDROM. Be aware that it is a notebook style drive and there are no onboard IDE or SATA controllers, so once the drive dies you're in for a wallet hit. Same goes for the floppy drive which is integrated with the DVDROM. Even worse, the presence of the broken floppy usually means a USB floppy drive won't help when loading windows drivers at install time.

SOURCE: Dell ATX(12v) power supply

The fact that it is made by Dell is irrelivent.

ATX is a standard and so are 20 and 24 pin motheroboard connectors.

You should find what you need by searching for: power supply unit on Wikipedia and Google.

Good luck!

dells power supplies must come from dell. I would call dell and give then the service tag number of your server and they will be able to tell you about how much a power supply is.
